We ask about the simply connected compact smooth 6-manifolds which can support structures of Calabi-Yau threefolds. In particular, we study the interesting case of Calabi-Yau threefolds $X$ with second betti number 3. We have a cup-product…
We review some recent results on the modularity of non-rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds.
We study a ring of weak Jacobi forms indexed by integral lattices of rank two. We find an explicit finite set of generators of this ring and give a dimension formula for weak Jacobi forms of rank two lattice index.
This paper has three main objectives: (i) To establish an isomorphism between Jacobi forms of index $D_{2n+1}$ (lattice index) and elliptic modular forms of level $2$. (ii) To provide an explicit formula for the Fourier coefficients of…
We review the construction of families of projective varieties, in particular Calabi--Yau threefolds, as quasilinear sections in weighted flag varieties. We also describe a construction of tautological orbi-bundles on these varieties, which…
In the paper [FSM] we described some Siegel modular threefolds which admit a Calabi-Yau model. Using a different method we give in this paper an enlarged list of such varieties that admits a Calabi-Yau model in the following weak sense:…
Let $d$ be a positive integer. In a previous article we established a bijective correspondence between the following classes of objects, considered up to the appropriate notion of equivalence: differential graded algebras with…
We examine instances of modularity of (rigid) Calabi-Yau manifolds whose periods are expressed in terms of hypergeometric functions. The $p$-th coefficients $a(p)$ of the corresponding modular form can be often read off, at least…
In this paper, we extend the elliptic genus in [10] by the gauge group E_8 and the gauge group E_8*E_8. Then we prove that the generalized elliptic genus are the weak Jacobi forms. Using these elliptic genus, we obtain some SL_2(Z) modular…
These notes consist of a study of special Lagrangian submanifolds of Calabi-Yau manifolds and their moduli spaces. The particular case of three dimensions, important in string theory, allows us to introduce the notion of gerbes. These offer…
We consider superstring compactifications where both the classical description, in terms of a Calabi-Yau manifold, and also the quantum theory is known in terms of a Landau-Ginzburg orbifold model. In particular, we study (smooth)…
In previous work, it was argued that the type IIB T^6/Z_2 orientifold with a choice of flux preserving N=2 supersymmetry is dual to a class of purely geometric type IIA compactifications on abelian surface (T^4) fibered Calabi-Yau…
We show that a Calabi-Yau structure of dimension $d$ on a smooth dg category $C$ induces a symplectic form of degree $2-d$ on the moduli space of objects $M_{C}$. We show moreover that a relative Calabi-Yau structure on a dg functor $C \to…
We study a projective Calabi-Yau threefold which has been constructed in an earlier paper. It is rigid and has Picard number two. We construct a pair of divisors which give a basis of the Picard group and determine all intersection numbers…
We study one class of linear sigma models and their T-dualized theories for noncompact Calabi-Yau manifolds. In the low energy limit, we find that this system has various massless effective theories with orbifolding symmetries. This…
We prove that formal Fourier Jacobi expansions of degree 2 are Siegel modular forms. As a corollary, we deduce modularity of the generating function of special cycles of codimension 2, which were defined by Kudla. A second application is…
We introduce relative noncommutative Calabi-Yau structures defined on functors of differential graded categories. Examples arise in various contexts such as topology, algebraic geometry, and representation theory. Our main result is a…
A fundamental step towards studying string theory vacua, and, ultimately, their stability, is that of understanding the underlying mathematical structure of the QFT resulting from its dimensional reduction on Calabi-Yau (CY) manifolds, the…
This paper presents five new examples of modular rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds arising from the modular elliptic surface of level 6. Explicit correspondences to newforms of weight 4 and level 10, 17, 21, and 73 are given.
Given a compact oriented manifold of dimension $n$ with a conically smooth stratification, we show that the moduli of $\mathcal{D}(k)$-valued constructible sheaves and the moduli of perverse sheaves are $(2-n)$-shifted Lagrangian. The…
